ENA001-2

WARNING:

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions, including the following,
should  always  be  followed  to  reduce  the  risk  of  fire,  electric  shock  and
personal  injury.  Read  all  these  instructions  before  operating  this  product
and save these instructions.

For safe operations:

1.

Keep work area clean.

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2.

Consider work area environment.

Do  not  expose  power  tools  to  rain.  Do  not  use

power  tools  in  damp  or  wet  locations.  Keep  work

area well lit. Do not use power tools where there is

risk to cause fire or explosion.

3.

Guard against electric shock.

Avoid  body  contact  with  earthed  or  grounded  sur-

faces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).

4.

Keep children away.

Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord.

All visitors should be kept away from work area.

5.

Store idle tools.

When  not  in  use,  tools  should  be  stored  in  a  dry,

high or locked up place, out of reach of children.

6.

Do not force the tool.

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which

it was intended.

7.

Use the right tool.

Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job

of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes

not intended; for example, do not use circular saws

to cut tree limbs or logs.

8.

Dress properly.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can be

caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid

footwear are recommended when working outdoors.

Wear protecting hair covering to contain long hair.

9.

Use safety glasses and hearing protection.

Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation is

dusty.

10.

Connect dust extraction equipment.

If  devices  are  provided  for  the  connection  of  dust

extraction and collection facilities ensure these are

connected and properly used.

11.

Do not abuse the cord.

Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to discon-

nect  it  from  the  socket.  Keep  the  cord  away  from

heat, oil and sharp edges.

12.

Secure work.

Use  clamps  or  a  vice  to  hold  the  work.  It  is  safer

than  using  your  hand  and  it  frees  both  hands  to

operate the tool.

13.

Do not overreach.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14.

Maintain tools with care.

Keep  cutting  tools  sharp  and  clean  for  better  and

safer  performance.  Follow  instructions  for  lubrica-

tion  and  changing  accessories.  Inspect  tool  cord

periodically and if damaged have it repaired by an

authorized  service  facility.  Inspect  extension  cords

periodically and replace, if damaged. Keep handles

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

15.

Disconnect tools.

When not in use, before servicing and when chang-

ing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.

16.

adjusting  wrenches  are  removed  from  the  tool

before turning it on.

17.

not operate tool when you are tired.

20.

Check damaged parts.

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part

that  is  damaged  should  be  carefully  checked  to

determine  that  it  will  operate  properly  and  perform

its intended function. Check for alignment of moving

parts,  free  running  of  moving  parts,  breakage  of

parts, mounting and any other conditions that may

affect  its  operation.  A  guard  or  other  part  that  is

damaged  should  be  properly  repaired  or  replaced

by  an  authorized  service  center  unless  otherwise

indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective

switches replaced by an authorized service facility.

and off.
